[QUOTE="CarlG, post: 317986, member: 49380"] I use saunas regularly after workouts. Before I got well managed I could observe slightly spikes in my BG immediately after sauna session, which followed a natural drop after the workout. So I'm among those who tend to rise after sauna, but my personal suspicion is that I do it too heavily which causes my body temperature to rise, similar to a fever which also makes me go higher. I have also read about people whose BG drops after sauna sessions, so my advice is to measure it after session (before cooldown) to see how you react, and adjust temperature and/or duration to stay within reasonable limits. I'm new to this though, and certainly no expert, so take my advice with a bucket of salt :) T2 since Dec 2011. [/QUOTE]
